Embroidered patches and other types of custom patches have been around for quite some time. In fact, they’ve been used on military uniforms for more than a century. In the beginning, patches were handmade with love by the wife, girlfriend, or mother of a young lad going off to fight in the Civil War. After machine embroidery arrived on the scene, our World War I soldiers were outfitted with shoulder sleeve insignia to show their rank, and Fort Jackson in South Carolina had its own specialty patch design developed with a wildcat on it. The military may have been the first to embrace custom patches, but they are far from the last. You may have even had some as a child if you were a boy scout or girl scout.
Today you will see custom patches used for a wide variety of purposes. You might want some for uniforms for your sports team, for ballcaps to sell in your restaurant, for a non-profit fundraising event, for school uniforms, for work uniforms, or to create branded merchandise for your company. There are no limits to what you can accomplish provided you find a company with an in-house graphic design professional who can help you design the perfect custom patches for your situation and then create them in the quantity you need.
